“…A 10-mL microwave tube was charged with silicon phthalocyanine dichloride (PcSi(Cl) 2 ; 7.2 mg, 0.012 mmoles, 1 equiv), (S)-3-phenyl-2-(1,3,6,8-tetraoxo-7-((S)-2-phenylpropyl)-3,6,7,8tetrahydrobenzo[lmn] [3,8]phenanthrolin-2(1H)-yl)propanoic acid (S,S-NDI) (33 mg, 0.62 mmoles, 5 equiv), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.5 mL) and toluene (5 mL). The reaction mixture was heated under microwave irradiation for 14 h at 155 • C. The blue residue obtained after solvent evaporation under reduced pressure was redissolved in ethyl acetate (50 mL).…”
